Skywatch Friday: Up On The Roof

I'd rather see a little bit of peaceful country sky than a part of the skyline of L.A. but that's just me!

Our neighbors have a lovely view from up high. Their eastern view is quite stunning. Sometimes you'll see a thin marine layer and up above, some pretty blue sky. I am enjoying the last of these summer days before we head into Fall. I hope your summer has been full of wonderful fabulous memories. For more wonderful sky view shots, visit:

The song, Up On The Roof was written by the New Yorkers but performed by the Drifters in 1962. It was very popular and still is with many. I like James Taylor's soothing version of the song.

	G	Em
	When this old world starts	getting me down

	C	D	G
And	people are just too	much for me to face

	Em
I'll climb way up to the	top of the stairs

	C	D	G
And	all my cares just	drift right into space

	C
	On the roof it's peaceful as can be

	G	Em	C	D
And	there the world be	low don't bother	me

	G	Em
So	when I come home feelin'	tired and beat

	C	D	G
I'll	go up where the	air is fresh and	sweet

	Em
I'll get away from the	hustling crowd

	C	D	G
And	all that rat-race	noise down in the	street

	C
	On the roof that's the only place I know

	G	Em	C	D
Where	you just have to	wish to make it	so

	G	Em
	When this old world starts	getting me down

	C	D	G
And	people are just too	much for me to face

	Em
I'll climb way up to the	top of the stairs

	C	D	G
And	all my cares just	drift right into space

	C
	At night the stars put on a show for free

	G	Em	C	D
And	darling you can	share it all with	me

I keep on telling you that

	G	Em
	Right smack dab in the	middle of town

	C	D	G
I've	found a para	dise that's trouble	proof

	G	Em
And if	this old world starts	getting you down

	C	D	G	Em
There's	room enough for	two up on the	roof

	C	D
Up on the	roof

	G	Em
Up on the	roof

The Friday 56

"The clean, unbroken surface of the west wall belies the complexity of its construction. What looks to be a smooth skin of uniformly thick tongue-and-groove red cedar siding is just the visible layer of a multi-layered sheath, whose composition in the curved wall is different from that in the straight walls."

 Are you remodeling or is the house in need of repairs? This series is a great resource. I'm so glad my husband and son love to work with wood... do you?
